Gus Johnson does a good job

I hope the retail version is better looking than the demo.

With that said, I do enjoy the sensation of being tackled and fighting through (single) tackles this year. I don't think I've had to fight through a gang tackle, the CPU doesn't simulate gang tackles (as the video demonstrated).
Fully agree with you regarding the video.
Especially now when NHL11 get new physics and a 3-year plan.
NBA Elite is looking promising with their work on the physics.
But Madden? No, same old Arcade!
I donīt buy it anymore.

Demo is really growing on me... this game does so many things well... if the impressions of the retail game as some have said the game is even BETTER than the demo than I am going to be very happy come Tuesday

Not quite sure whether I like the new game flow or not... thankfully though they left the option to call our own plays so it wont be a gamebreaker if it turns out buggy (like anything involving EA AI usually does). The gameplay feels pretty good... liked the presentation too.

May end up renting before I buy though since they didnt touch franchise mode (which is all I really play).. I just hope they atleast fixed the bugs with it from last year...

I just played the demo for the first time, and I'm not spending my money on this.

The commentary was worse than anything I've ever heard in a game, it was totally disjointed, late, and just overall terrible. I know it's "better" in the full game, but the videos I've seen don't make it sound amazingly better.

Locomotion is obvious, so that's a plus.

But graphically, while the game looks nice, I can't get over how freakin huge the ball is. It's way bigger than everyone's head! Ridiculous. It just sticks out like a sore thumb.

Not really a fan of gameflow, since I'm not picking my play, I have to do a check at the line to see what play it is, but by the time I do, the computer has snapped the ball.

Nothing in this game makes me say, "I want to buy this."

Just my opinion, and I hope Madden 12 actually delivers.
